We basically don't have any small quick agile mids,bolton the only one.
If saints get picks,6,7, they don't need kako unfortunately tigers gave them 2 already.
It's a choice from ,a player Smith who looks like a rare play 90% good games and would make u very consistent or
A game breaking classy mid/ forward like fos who has mega improvement.
A game breaking classy mid/ forward like fos who has mega improvement.
Maybe in the Coates league but not in the VFL games he played.
It makes fos our number one pick and future Captain elite kick, speed and side step leadership great mark. He will be the player we call out at pick 1
Majority of his possessions are outside a contest or in space ,is that what we want from a no 1 pick ?
We want player's who are going to take us to the promised land ,Premierships ,,,Tough,physical ,good kicking skills ,strong over head ,attacking player's .
The difference between North and the Hawks are the Hawks got quite a few physical types,were as North got good skilled types without a lot of the hardness .
Understand there is a base athletic profile you need to be an AFL footballer but its a balance.YBut in saying that after watching a couple of AFL matches,that doesn't matter,skills are becoming a thing of the past,it's all about being a athlete .
We often bemoan our skill level. Turnovers kill.
But definitely no good being a beautiful user if you can't get around the ground.
Yeah,but there are quite a few player's these days who have excellent athletic attributes masquerading as footballer's
Ok put it this way ,how effective is he when he gets the ball in a tough contested situation ,l see lot's of turnovers ,he gets pushed out the way easy.
The Majority of his possessions are outside a pack or in space ,he's not a no1
Agree with most of that but not that he is express over a short distance. He does have decent agility and is very instinctive with his ball use though which helps a lot.
Re testing. Reckon his yoyo and 2km numbers are more important. His ability to work and present all over the ground can make up for (ILO anyway) his lack of express pace.
He is a classy conveyence who wins the balls at will, and we must have interest considering the request to play in our VFL side.
LDU, Wardlaw and Sheezel are not hard? Your view of Jagga is also to be taken with a grain of salt.
Can't believe I find myself agreeing with 2 members of the Dunces of Doom......geez.
He is Aces .
Watch how many times he gets caught or rag dolled ,in a contested area,probably 90 percent of the time ,and turns it over a lot when under strong pressure.
No they aren't.
How does he have 14 contested possessions and 7 clearances a game in the champs. The most of any player in both categories if he's winning it outside a pack or in space?
He has backed that up in his Coates and VFL games. Reckon he anticipates where the balls going at a clearance better than anyone in this class. Maybe only Draper compares. He then uses it quickly and instinctively.
Yes he can get pushed away, that's only cos he's light. He'll never be Dustin Martin, but strength will come. But he always puts his head over it (perhaps more than he should), - that is a more important trait.
